Kobo Aura won't start
Good evening,
I am having an issue with my kobo aura hd. When i try to turn it on using the normal button, nothing happens. If I plug it to a power source, bot the screen and the led blink a couple of times, but then the device doesn't turn on. If i press the soft reset button (the tiny hole) while the device is linked to a power source, the double blinking process starts, but it leads to no results. If i press the soft reset button when the device is not linked to a power source, nothing happens. Last things I did before experiencing this issue were: -factory reset, -connected to my PC and initialized using Kobo Desktop, -disconnected and it was working. -I then re-connected it to my pc, turned on Kobo Desktop and after uploading one file, I disconnected it without safe unplug. I really tried every possible combination of soft reset button/power source/power button nut the double blinking process is the only response i can get out of the e-reader. Any ideas? even the most basic thing is appreciated, thanks guys! |

Replug it into the computer. Then safely eject.
Kobo sometimes hates unsafe ejection. |

- Charge the device for at least an hour. - Hold the power switch in the off position for at least 20 seconds to force a power off. - While holding the light button down, turn the device on. - Release the light button when the LED flashing changes or the screen does. If this doesn't work, try again, but hold everything for a bit longer. If it still doesn't work, you need to examine the screen to make sure it isn't damaged. If it isn't you can try opening it and putting a new image onto the internal SD card. |
